part of the fiscal cliff deal is that there are heavy pentagon cuts in the sequester. the budget is the reason i think president obama would like to have leon panetta told on for a least another year. he is an experienced public official. he was budget director at one time. he has good relations on capitol hill, particularly with republicans. i think the administration would just as soon see him hang in there. he is at the age where he may want to return to california. host: stevens writes in on twitter that he would like to see howard dean offered a position. is there any talk about the howard dean appointment? guest: they do appreciate the job he did during the 2008 election for the party. i have not heard his name. talking with david jackson from "usa today." he also worked at "dallas morning news." i want to go to diane from arizona on the democratic line. caller: is there any possibility ben bernanke and tim geithner could both be replaced? from what i have read, they both have a background or some dealings with the basics and will street. my impression is they ar
